Windows 10: Brightness control / options missing in Windows 10 settings

I changed laptops in December 2020 but seem to have two software ? issues or bugs. Im using Windows 10 Home version 20H2.


The most annoying issue relates to "adaptive brightness". In my old laptop, I was able to go to the settings and turn it off. However, i dont have the option on this laptop. I've read there should be options under 'display' settings or 'power' options, but for me its missing! When the brightness changes, it doesnt change the slider either which is set to 0%. How do i change this and make it stop?!

also, when i turn it on, it doesnt recognise the internet. You have to restart for it to connect.


thanks.

Windows 10: Brightness Options Missing?

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone would be able to help me out with an issue I am facing with the brightness options in Windows 10 Pro. I've owned this laptop for around 5 months now, and I've always been able to change the brightness on it as and when i please using either the function keys, or settings in battery menu or control panel display settings. All of a sudden after updating my PC to the Fall Creators Update (1709) when it was first released, I am no longer able to do this, along with options missing from the Windows Mobility Center. The option for brightness control is no longer in the Action Center, and I cannot enable/disable Night Light. Any search that I do within Windows for "Brightness" only brings up options for the visually impaired and so on. Furthermore, "Display" has disappeared from the control panel, but this could be due to the migration to the settings menu.

I wouldn't be too bothered about the screen brightness if it didn't have such an effect on my battery!

I've attached some screenshots to help explain.

Thanks.

Hi Ella,

To adjust the brightness, see the steps below:

• Go back to Power Options, and tick on the High performance.
• See if you can adjust the brightness.

If this not work, we highly suggest that you create an Administrator account, and re-do the steps above.

Let us know how it goes.
